A quick IC1396 before it disappeared on me in SHO/RGB

I had to be quick with this one, since it was already heading to the horizon in the early evening hours, hence a very limited set of data. But I did not want to wait for next year to see what the little ASKAR can do with this area of the sky, hence I spend approximately the first hour of the evening session on it before I went to the other targets that I recently posted with this setup. I actually had another 1 hour of data taken with the Hß filter, thought that it might give an extra notch, but I decided to drop them since it did "destroy" the OIII data in the middle of IC1396.
This is for me an amazing area of the sky, what a target, and it is huge! Even with this focal length and with the full frame sensor it barely fit. The image itself is a bit noisy, low amount of data and close to the horizon which is pretty light polluted. Still, the overall wide field looks great, I will target it again at the end of the year to see if I can get a bit more out of it.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
